"As the old saying goes, the husband is not guilty, but he is guilty. Therefore, the next son must be willing to be giving. A country of Yue that has greatly reduced its strength has continued to occupy Huaibei, where it will inevitably become a place where the two countries of Qi and Chu are red, and become a disaster for the country of Yue. Therefore, instead of letting the two countries of Qi and Chu take the initiative to attack the territory of Huaibei, let the two countries of Qi and Chu have a grudge with our Yue country, and humiliate the son, it is better to take the initiative to sacrifice it in order to get a good relationship with Qi and Chu.

Therefore, the prince needs to immediately send someone to meet the king of Chu and the king of Qi, dedicate all the Huaibei land to the king of Chu, and then dedicate all the land and Ji land to the Qi country, in order to make the two countries of Qi and Chu not target our Yue country for the time being. ”

Gongzi Yu responded: "Okay." ”

"Also, when the army of Chu came to Wucheng, at that time, my Wucheng must have been panicked, in order to avoid the Chu army's temporary intentions, they captured Wucheng and held Gongzi hostage, in order to forcibly seek the land of Huainan. Therefore, after the minister asked the prince to control Wucheng, he immediately closed the gate of Wucheng, and courteously treated the Chu people Zhaoslip, improved the treatment of Zhaoslip, and in the name of courtesy, put him under house arrest, so as to prevent Zhaoslip from joining the Chu army outside the city in Wucheng. ”

Gongzi Yu was shocked when he heard this, the state of Chu attacked Wucheng, held him hostage, and took the opportunity to blackmail Huainandi, which he did not expect.

Thinking of Zhaochang's previous request to raise the 50,000 Chu army to 80,000, Gongziyu was suspicious.

Could it be that the State of Chu really had the intention of taking the opportunity to kidnap and extort?

Thinking about it, Gongzi Yu replied solemnly: "Shangqing, please rest assured, the widow will close Wu City when the time comes, and will not give Chu State a chance." ”

At this time, Yue Meng's face did not react at all, and he continued to take care of himself: "In addition, regarding the two countries of Qi and Chu, for my Yue State, the threat of Chu State is big, and the threat of Qi State is small. However, for the state of Chu, in terms of competing for world dominance, the Yue state was far less attractive than Wei and Han. Therefore, after the prince ascends the throne, he must make every effort to make friends with the Chu State, and then accumulate strength in order to have a future effect. However, it is also impossible to relax the vigilance against the state of Chu. The ambition of the Chu State for Huainan has lasted for a long time, and Guangling City is the vanguard of the Chu State, so the prince cannot but be vigilant at all times. ”

"Hmm!" Gongziyu replied softly.

"Gongzi used the power of the Wu people to obtain the throne of the Yue people, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the Yue people. Therefore, for the sake of Gongzi, it is necessary to appease the Yue people immediately. Moreover, the way to be a king is to be impartial, and it needs to be supported by all people. Otherwise, if Gongzi is unable to gain the support of the Yue people, it will inevitably cause another turmoil in the Yue country. I crossed the country, and I can't stand the chaos at this time. ”

Gongziyu nodded solemnly.

"Finally, Childe, please don't repeat the mistakes of the king, and please follow the example of the previous king and establish the prince early."

Gongzi Yu froze for a moment, remembering his commitment to the Chu State, paused, and then nodded.

Yue Meng saw Gongzi Yu nodding, so he put his mind at ease.

Then, his eyes looked into the void and muttered to himself: "I have tasted and heard, the gentleman is virtuous and benevolent, and he implements the royal way, even if he is a hundred miles away, he can also be called a king." As a result, the Teng Kingdom, which practiced the royal way, was destroyed by a small Song State.

I have heard that the country has virtuous ministers, and its country will not perish. A certain self-proclaimed sage planned for the Yue country wholeheartedly, but in the end, not only did not let the Yue country prosper, but on the contrary, it made nearly half of the Yue country die.

What is going on in this world, why is this happening? ”

Muttering, Yue Meng exhaled his last breath with doubts, but the eyes looking at the void did not close for a long time, and he did not bat his eyes.

······

In the south of Wucheng, Zhao Slip waved the banner of Gongziyu and quickly rushed to Wucheng with the 5,000 troops arranged by Gongziyu outside the city.

Seeing the city wall of Wucheng from afar, the doorman Wu Yan immediately reported to Zhaohua.

"General, we are now less than five miles away from Wu City."

Zhao Slip raised his head and looked north, and then ordered: "Order, speed up and rush to Wucheng." In addition, send someone to contact the guard of the south gate and ask him to open the city gate. ”

"No."

Maybe it was because of Zhao Slip's urging, or maybe it was because Wu Cheng was already in sight, and the speed of the army increased by a few points in vain.

At this time, on the city wall south of Wucheng, the guard of the south gate stood on the city wall, and saw a large army coming quickly from a distance, and suddenly showed a look of expectation.

A short time later, a scout came to his side and reported: "General, under the orders of General Zhaohua, I have come to ask the general to open the city gate and enlarge the army into the city." ”

Wei Xi's people who were already Gongzi Yu had already been greeted, and after hearing that it was the army led by Zhao Hua at this moment, he immediately ordered: "There is a rebellion in the city, this is the army transferred by Gongzi to quell the rebellion, quickly open the city gate, and welcome the counterinsurgency army into the city." ”

"No."

By the time Zhao Slip arrived at the south gate, the city gate had already been opened, and the city gate guards had already personally greeted him more than ten steps outside the city.

Seeing this, Zhao Slip finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In any case, by now, Gongziyu has completely taken a step that is crucial to the Chu State, and at this point, whether Gongziyu succeeds or fails, for the Chu State, the overall situation has been decided.

Thinking about it, Zhao Slip ordered: "Order, the army enters the city." ”

"The last general Wei Xi has seen the general." Wei Xi recognized Zhao Slip, and at this moment, when he saw Zhao Slip coming to the city gate, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"There is General Lao Wei waiting here." Zhao Hua nodded to Wei Xi, and then asked while entering the city with the army, "General Wei, how is the situation in the city now?" ”

Wei Xi followed Zhao into the city, and responded: "General, now that Gongzi has taken control of Miyagi, General Zhang Yi is recruiting the army of Gongshiyu at the moment. In addition, Childe had an order, after the general entered the city, he immediately sent people to control the remaining three city gates, blocked the city gates and the streets in the city, and strictly prohibited anyone from entering or leaving. ”

"Okay." Zhao Slippery answered.

As he spoke, Zhao Hua had already led his generals into the city.

Then, Zhao slid to look at the five two or five hundred lords around him, and said to Wei Xi: "General Wei, the number of soldiers in your hands is enough to guard the city gate, but if the nearby city hears the chaos in Wucheng and has bad intentions, and sends people to steal the city and wants to defend the southern city wall, then it is insufficient, so I will give you another five hundred soldiers, general, you still guard the south." ”

When Wei Xi heard this, he immediately replied: "General Xie! ”

Zhao Slip nodded, and then said to the generals who brought him: "Generals, you each send a hundred people to General Wei Xi." ”

"No."

After the five people ordered the transfer, Zhao Slip looked at the soldiers who kept entering the city and fell into deep thought.

The 5,000 people that Gongziyu handed over to him, more than 1,000 of them, were soldiers from the three nearby cities, and these more than 1,000 people were well-trained and the most elite soldiers among the 5,000 people.

There are more than 2,000 other people, who are loyal to Gongziyu's Wu family and support Gongziyu's private soldiers.

The remaining more than 1,000 people are recruited ruffians who call themselves rangers and outlaws who were collected by Gongzi Yu.

Now, if you want to send people to guard the city gate and the streets, how to arrange it so that it can be in the interests of the Chu State?
